Kaulana Nā Pua

- Ellen Kehoʻohiwaokalani Wright Prendergast

Kaulana nā pua aʻo Hawaiʻi

Famous are the children of Hawai`i

Kūpaʻa ma hope o ka ʻāina

Ever loyal to the land

Hiki mai ka ʻelele o ka loko ʻino

When the evil-hearted messenger comes

Palapala ʻānunu me ka pākaha

With his greedy document of extortion

Pane mai Hawaiʻi moku o Keawe

Hawaiʻi, land of Keawe answers

Kōkua nā Hono aʻo Piʻilani

Piʻilani's bays help

Kākoʻo mai Kauaʻi o Mano

Mano's Kauaʻi lends support

Paʻapū me ke one Kākuhihewa

And so do the sands of Kākuhihewa

ʻAʻole aʻe kau i ka pūlima

No one will fix a signature

Ma luna o ka pepa o ka ʻēnemi

To the paper of the enemy

Hoʻohui ʻāina kūʻai hewa

With its sin of annexation

I ka pono sivila aʻo ke kanaka

And sale of native civil rights

ʻAʻole mākou aʻe minamina

We do not value

I ka puʻu kālā o ke aupuni

The government's sums of money

Ua lawa mākou i ka pōhaku

We are satisfied with the stones

I ka ʻai kamahaʻo o ka āina

Astonishing food of the land

Ma hope mākou o Liliʻulani

We back Liliʻulani

A loaʻa ē ka pono o ka ʻāina

Who has won the rights of the land

*(A kau hou ʻia e ke kalaunu)

*(She will be crowned again)

Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana

Tell the story

Ka poʻe i aloha i ka ʻāina

Of the people who love their land
